On This Episode:
Every day, anesthesia providers deliver safe, life-changing care, but much of that work remains invisible. Without standardized perioperative data, it's difficult to measure outcomes, improve quality, influence healthcare policy, or demonstrate the true impact of anesthesia providers around the world. That's where the Operative Encounter Registry (OER) comes in.
Recorded live from the IFNA World Congress in Australia, Sharon and special co-host Kevin Chem welcome Richard Henker PhD, CRNA, FAANA, FAAN, whose work with the World Health Organization and the G4 Alliance is helping reshape global anesthesia through data. We’ll explore how the Operative and Encounter Registry serves as a simple point of care tool that allows anesthesia providers to capture essential surgical and anesthesia data, making our care visible in ways it hasn't been before.
